12 months implies you still have warranty. Even in the US. Buy it in Europe and get 3 years manufacturer warranty, or buy additional warranty from your telco if you bought it branded.

I stated 13 or so months - that's usually the lesser, where my ol' 7160 lasted for 16 months.

Regardless, 800 bucks, 12 months. Send in and be without a cellphone - they typically don't do "loaners" at AT&T... the American telcos are in the dark ages compared to the Japanese.

Anyway, no. I've done it enough to know that Nokia phones and myself are not a good mix... not 100%. And unsubsidized means that I'm paying full price - do not let that escape you. I am not willing to pay full price when other phones are subsidized for much, much less.
